Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extensions mutes all Chrome tabs by default allowing you to make tab audible on-demand. I've created it because I got furious at various news sites that autoplay videos in background, often somewhere along the text or in the sidebar.

This extension has zero analytics, tracking or any other data gathering and it will stay this way forever.

WHAT'S NEW

2.0.1: Update privacy practices 2.0: Removed popup, added options page and context menu instead. Clicking on mute icon will now toggle mute status. 1.2: Added popup with multiple options and settings 1.0: Initial release
